Darren,

The same driver, with the same compiz version with a different kernel (2.6.29.x) works without regressions. I boot with 2.6.30 kernel and I get very poor fps on multiple distributions with multiple versions of the driver (minus the beta since I haven't yet tried it) and multiple version of compiz (w and without the NOMAD patches).

To me that points to a regression in the kernel (even if it's the way the driver builds on the kernel), but again no build failures when using the binary from NVIDIA.

The laptop in question is a Dell D820 (not around me right now but I think it's an 110M) which is equivalent to a GeForce 7600 or 7400 I can't remember.
